5 Ways of Adaptability

Adaptability entails the capacity to learn and utilize acquired knowledge quickly and effectively in various scenarios. Having high adaptability skills will help us in various new conditions. This is my story about implementing the 5 ways of adaptability at Bangkit Academy:

1. Ways of Interacting

Since I decided to join an independent study with Bangkit Academy, i have been adapted with various challenges. Basically, Bangkit is an independent study program that is 100% conducted completely online. By that, the one that challenged me the most is the ways I interact with people online. How i communicate with other participants online is so challenging. In a positive way, adapting by communicating via discord and google meet with people at Bangkit pushed me to grow my confidence, and dared me to start communicating with other friends. Besides, at bangkit academy the participants are accustomed to communicate in english, and it helps me to improve my english skill.

2. Ways of Achieving

I've set a goal for myself to graduate from Bangkit Academy as a knowledgeable individual, eager to meet new people, and to become a proficient machine learning professional. However, on my journey to achieving this goal, i encountered numerous obstacles, such as my own laziness, my responsibilities as a college lecturer's assistant, and my duties as a responsible child to help my parents with their work. These distractions sometimes hindered my progress towards my initial goal of joining Bangkit Academy. To overcome these challenges, i constantly remind myself of the reason why i chose to join Bangkit Academy. Bangkit is also very helpful in terms of creating a timeline schedule and rules that really help me not to get off the track that has been made.

3. Ways of Learning

Attending Bangkit Academy has been a valuable experience for me as it provides a diverse range of learning opportunities. Here, i am not only acquiring technical skills, but also developing essential soft skills. i have learned how to manage my energy and time effectively, cultivate a growth mindset, and manage stress. Additionally, i have been honing my adaptability skills and improving my English language proficiency. In terms of technical skills, Bangkit Academy has helped me deepen my understanding of the Python language, data processing, and the role of a data analyst. Furthermore, i have gained a stronger foundation in mathematics for machine learning and data science. As with any learning process, i have encountered challenges along the way. To overcome these obstacles, i have sought guidance from mentors and instructors, and engaged in discussions with my peers to gain insights and support.

4. Ways of Working

During my time at Bangkit Academy, i became acquainted with the various tools provided by the institution, such as Coursera, Dicoding, and Google Workspace. Familiarizing myself with these tools was a crucial step in making the most of my opportunities at the academy. By understanding how to use these tools effectively, i was able to enhance my learning experience and develop my skills in a more comprehensive manner.

5. Ways of Thinking

Everyone probably has some fixed mindset. For example, i sometimes have a fear of negative feedback when i interact with others. But at bangkit i learned that a fixed mindset can be transformed into a growth mindset that helps us to develop more. To overcome my fear of negative feedback, i took a proactive approach including practicing initiation in non-pressure situations such as talking to new friends, reflecting on my interactions, and refining my approach.

Those are my 5 ways of adapting in Bangkit Academy. The learning process may be tough at times but I believe that being able to adapt can help me grow and achieve my goals. Thankyou for your attention!
